Rezension zu „Twenty-First Century Plague: The Story of Sars “
"Twenty-First Century Plague describes many of the people, events, political settings, and other contributing factors in a fascinating view of the story behind the story of the outbreak." - Science "Abraham gives us an excellent and dispassionate account of the cultural and political background to the cover-up and the unfortunate consequences." - Nature "The book is richly filled with facts, and they are conveyed in a captivating manner. It is as impressive as the film Outbreak." - New England Journal of Medicine "A ringside account of the world's recent encounter with the emerging infectious disease SARS. Engagingly written by an accomplished journalist." - American Scientist "The rush to contain and unmask the agent responsible... had more plot twists than anything Robert Ludlum ever wrote." - The Lancet"
